Democratic soldiers In the G.. a. R-weary
of Being Worked for the G. q. r.
WASHINGTON. July 9.-The determine
tion of the President not to visit St Louis
during the meeting of the National En-
campment OF the Grand Army, meats with
the approval o. all Democrats. While this
is true, there is the greatest Indignation
among the Democratic soldiers that de-
signing Republican leaders continue to
make the Grand Army an aid society to the
Republican party, and there is talk OF
starting move to get all the Democratic
soldiers to withdraw from the organization,
80 that il may stand in its true light, if it
l. To be made political machine, or is to
be instrumental in stirring up strife, or in
auy way keeping alive the bitter memo
rieS of the war. Gen. RDsecranS said to
sour correspondent to-day that he was
decidedly opposed 10 the Democratic sol
dierS being made an adjunct 10 Republi-
can schemes for the purpose OF making 1t
appear that the entire body of the gallant
veterans were in sympathy with Tuttle
cranks or Fairchild palsyem. He COM
meaded highly the patriotic and benevo-
lent features of the Grand Army, as well
~ the spirit Of fraternity it inculcated;
but he did not propose, as lar rs he was
concerned, that this plausible disguise
should be made the masquerading costume
of Republican PhariseeiSm and hypocrisy.
IL was remarked to your correspondent to-
day that when Gen. Lennon, the propri-
stor of the National Tribune, the organ Of
the Grand Army, started that paper, he
went to Senator voorhees, and Hon. G. K.
FaulkDer and other Democrats in this city,
and, under the representation that his
object WAS purely for the benefit OF
the soldier, to advance his interest
they sgaye him valuable help i'll fur
pishing names of soldiers throughout the
country. The result has been that in con-
sequence of this aid he has amassed for
tune, and is enjoying handsome revenue
through his paper, and rs claim agent he
is drawing 81. 900 month from the Pen
sion Office. He is using his paper and his
money 10 iuiure the Democratic party, and
was the first TO raise the point that the
President should not be permitted to visit
the grand enCampment at St Louis. He
has continually held the President up to
the soldiers OF the country as a soldier
hater. In view of these facts, the Demo
cratic soldiers here are asking themselves
ifit is right TO continue TO support man
who is making his paper the organ OF the
mean and designing politicians of the Re-
publican party who are attempting to
steal back into power with the garb OF the
old flag covering all thS raScalitieS OF the
balcyon days of Radical corruption.

A FIRES DREAD WORK
THR TOWN OF HURLEY SWEPT BY THB
PLANBS-ELEYBN PEOPLE PERISH.
The Fire Starts in Variety Theatre and Quickly
Spreads Over he fOwn-Vain Efforts to Save
Life and ROpsry-Nins Charsd
Bodies Already Discovered.

MILwAUKEE, Wis, July 1O.-A Hur-
ley, Wis, dispatch says: A fire broke out
on the stage OF the Alcazar Theatre at 8
O'Clock last night, and within an hour the
entire business part OF the town. was in
flames, while eleven persons had perished
in the theatre. The eharred remains of
nine people have been taken from the
ruins. The Aleazar was ayariety theatre,
chiefly frequented by miners and was one
Of the resorts Of unsavory repute associated
with the notorious dance houses of the
mining regions. Only a small audience
had gathered when the fire broke out,
and they scrambled out in a hurry.
Several of the actors, however, rushed
up stairs to save their wardrobe and when
they sought to escape found that they were
hemmed in on all sides, the flames having
spread through the wooden building with
incredible rapidity. How they struggled
to flee will never he known, as none of
them except Sadie Wells and Mabel Pow
ers were ever seen again. The former ap-
peared at a second story window and called
pAOcouSAg upOh luc cEOWu OuISluc 10 save
-her. Before . hand could be raised the
flames reached her, and communicated to
her clothing. She made frantic effort to
jump through the window and then with
u piercing shrek fell into the furnace be-
low. Mabel Powers had reached third
story window. She jumped and was so
badly injured that her recovery is doubt
ful. Among those who perished in the
theatre were: Frank Young, Sadie Nc
Cabe and - Jackson (colored) eomedi-
ans; nllie Moore, song and dance artist;
Mabel Goodrich and husband; SadieWells,
Mrs. Feuton and two or three others whose
names are not known.
The Alcazar was in the very heart of the
city. Ii was a mass of flames in a very
short time. The fire seemed to leap from
building to building unfil several blocks
became a roaring oven. II was not long
before every business building between
Third and Fifth avenues was in flames,
Al efforts to get the fire under control
seemed futile. The fire department, rein
forced by scores of volunteers, sent its puny
streams against the advancing walls Of
flames, but had to retreat rs the fire swept
resiStlessly on. II did not stop until ma
terial for it to feed upon was lacking.

Novel Scene In n Missouri Jail-The bald
KnObbers to be Tried Soon.
CHICAGO, July l0-An Inter. Ocean
special from Springfield, Mo-, says: A
novel incident transpired at the county
Jail here this afternoon. While number
of ladies were holding Scriptural and
song meeting in the corridors Of the Jail,
for the benefit Of the prisoners, one fair en-
thusiast invited c. o. Simmons, the
Baptist preacher, who is one OF
the sixteen notorious bald knob prisoners
indicted for the murder in the first degree,
for killing Chas. Green and ". Edens, in
Christian county, TO lead in prayer. Par
son Simmons promptly accepted the invi-
tation, by kneeling on his hard cell floor
and offering a fervent petition.
Simmons is very illiterate and compares
himself to the Apostle Paul when he was
in prison. The evidence, however,
shows that he was one of the ringleaders
in the atrocious double murder and there
is no doubt but he WAS pr 'minent mem.
Der of the bloody bald knob organization
of Christian county. The trial OF the six
teen Bald KnObbers will begin at Ozark,
the first of next month, and the prosecu-
ton is confident of either hanging or send
ing the entire lot TO the penitentiary.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., July l0.-Tbe foi.
lowing is the weather crop bulletin Of the
Signal office for the week ending July Q:
Temperature-During the week ending
July ., the weather has been warmer
than usual, generally throughout the
Northern States and OH the Pacific coast
the average daily excess being about 3
degrees from New England westward TO
the upper Mississippi Valley, and
about degrees on the Pacific
coast. II was cooler than usual
throughout the Southern States and In the
cotton region the daily average was abont
3 degrees below the normal. The excess
Of temperature throughout The Northern
States during the past two weeks and the
cool weather in the Southern States during
the same period leaves the average daily
temperature for the season from January
to July 9 about normal, the difference OF
the daily average from the normal being
generally less than one degree throughout
the agricultural regions.
Rain fall--There has been an excess Of
rain fall in the Southern States and thence
northward TO the lake region, including
the southern portions Of New England aud
middle Atlantic States, while there has
been less than the usual amount Of ninfall
in the States of the Missouri valley. Nh
merous aud abundant rains have occurred
IN the cotton region and in that portion Of
the corn region east Of the Mississippi pre-
yiously threatened with drouth.
For the season from January to July
3 the large deficiency of rainfall continues
throughout the Southern States and the
Mississippi Valley, hut the rainfall during
the past two weeks has greatly reduced
the season deficiency, and occurring nj the
critical period have probably affected most
beneiicially corn and cotton.
General remarks-The weather general
ly during the past week has greatly i'm
proved the condition Of the growing crops.
Both grain and hay harvesting are we'll
advanced in the extreme northern portions
OF the country, though IL has been retarded
in come sections by severe local storms
